See what I did there?

I've loved the Alien Conquest theme ever since the pictures were out. Like an alien B-movie, LEGO style. If I had money I might even pick up each one (ok, not really, but that mothership is cool).

Here's what I'm thinking:

The $10* set is cool. Blue human defender fig (that helmet!), new guns, older newer guns, and looks like a good amount of pieces for my buck.

I was all set for buying the $5 set as well and calling it a day, for another human defender fig and alien, but then I got a closer look at the $20 set. It looks cool (tripod and slight saucer design) and has some good pieces, but the best part is the alien pet appearing in such a small set! (Shame there is no human defender though.) The second best part is the human victim so I can use the blue-striped suit for my 10th Doctor minifig.

As much as I want to rush out to TRU and get these two ASAP, I am probably better off waiting for a BOGO sale or going home and buying them from my LEGO Store (10% off!). (Same goes for the Series 4 minifigs.)

But plenty of time until then to keep building other things!
